The Ninja Master Prep Pro blender is our best cheap blender with a price tag of about $40. This model comes with 3 different containers and has a 450 watt motor, which is below average, but it still scored quite well in blending and making smoothies. One great feature on this appliance is that you can remove the blades and scoop out all the contents so you don’t waste anything. This combined with dishwasher safe parts also make it super easy to clean, although the plastic jar can scratch and dull over time.
